(You're) The Woman I Talk About
WRITTEN BY : BOOTLEG SLIM

When I get my head together
I'll write a love letter
send it in the first class post
this ain't a time for subtlety
I'll tell you confidentially
you're the one I love the most

remember the day we met
I was so fixed on you
let's get us together
figure out what to do
when I say there's a special lady
you can have no doubt
you're that woman
that I talk about

Don't accuse me of running away
you know I mean it
when I say I want to treat you right
when we're apart I miss ya
let me paint you the picture:
when we're near,
all I do is smile

when I'm bragging to the boys
about a girl I'd like to get to know
when I'm saving up my coins
for two tickets to the picture show
when I say there's a special lady
you can have no doubt
you're that woman
that I talk about

forget the gossip that ya heard
from all the jealous boys and girls
listen here, I just wanna shout
you're that woman
that I talk about

when I sing my songs all night
and I read dusty books by candle light
I can't seem to take my rest
I've got a fine bottle of wine
I'd like to share with you sometime
don't say you'd rather be someplace else

when my mind gets a-wandering
and nobody can hold me down
working in a factory
like a slave by the hour
when I say there's a special lady
you can have no doubt
you're that woman
that I talk about
